An erotically charged thriller with Irons and Binoche playing an insatiable couple. A good couple of actors and a good story. Irons is a married minister named Stephen who lives with his wife and young daughter. His oldest son Martyn is an up and coming journalist. One day, Stephen meets Anna at a party and sparks fly immediately. Without truly realising what they are doing, the pair embark on a dangerously sexual affair, which continues even when Martyn brings Anna to the family home some time later as his latest girlfriend. As with many affairs, the need for excitement and danger gets more and more intense, and before long tragedy strikes. I liked this, and always like the two lead stars in films, but it did feel rather as though we were watching two rather mismatched people having sex leading it to appear quite awkward in many scenes, despite the fact that their on screen chemistry is intense.
This is the second of my film blogs following on from my original (filmfantastique.blogspot.com) which was shut down recently. My blog is a way to record films I see so that I can double check later on. Normally with horror films I watch them and then immediately forget what they are called! I watch all kinds of films, from classic, world cinema, thrillers and anime. Very rarely does a day pass without me seeing a film of some sort! All comments and film discussion welcome. Enjoy my ranting!
